“The fire around December in GH feels a bit doused” – George Quaye
Team Lead for ImageBureau, George Quaye, has expressed concern about the apparent lull in activities surrounding the government’s December in GH initiative, saying the brand has lost some of its momentum.
George Quaye, Team Lead for ImageBureau, has expressed concern over the apparent decline in momentum surrounding Ghana's "December in GH" initiative. Quaye stated that while he believes every government has the right to introduce new ideas, he felt the impact of the initiative had not been prominent enough. The program, which gained prominence around the 2019 Year of Return and the popular moniker 'Detty December', has since become associated with concerts, parties, festivals, and homecoming activities.
However, recent controversies and criticisms have emerged, with Parliament Speaker Alban Bagbin and Director of Diaspora Affairs Kofi Okyere Darko expressing reservations about the name and its direction. Despite these concerns, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and the Ghana Tourism Authority have announced plans for the 2026 edition, featuring over 150 events nationwide under the theme 'Ghana to the World'.
